Novel written by Chico Buarque, a very famous and exceptionally talented songwriter and singer from Brazil. I've been his fan since I was 7 years old. The first song I new by heart was his. My whole lifetime I've been his fan! And now he writes novels and they are excellent. This is his 4th novel. I liked the 3rd one (Budapest) a lot. It's a pity because his novels probably won't be translated to English. This one was very good, showing a superb mastering of language and its rhythm.
Livro do Chico, de quem sou fã de carterinha desde os 7 anos. A vida toda. A primeira música que decorei foi dele. E agora o safado escreve e escreve bem demais. Já tinha gostado de Budapeste. E esse livro agora é ótimo, mostra um domínio incrível sobre a linguagem e seu ritmo. Mas também, se ele não tem isso, quem vai ter?
